After nearly 5 months...and 35 separate protests...student organizations will again talk with President Sebastian Pinera about education reforms...but are still calling for classroom boycotts while the talks are underway.
Some 250,000 lower grade students and thousands of college students have stayed out of school during the protests.
ALSO: A new CERC poll results show growing disapproval of Pinera.
About 67% dislike his performance with only 22% approval...down 13 points...the lowest rating in the poll's 25 year history...and the lowest since the Pinochet dictatorship.
